The cover art format I use is contained right in the burnerXP program. It's pretty basic, but it's really all I need. Most of the covers I use are ones I find on the internet that others have created and are ahppy to share.
Some folks create excellent designs...me not so much!!:)
If I can't find an already existing cover for a show I have, I'll get band pics or other related art from the internet and modify them with show info using the art program already on my computer.

If you want to go beyond the basics, there are others here that would probably be able to better help you with that.

Here is a link to an earlier thread with links to sites having a variety of CD covers.

Learning this stuff is fun and addictting, Moderation is the key to much. I do have a lot on my plate w/ new baby and all plus a 4yr old and 2 other nearly grown children.
So knowing when to walk away from this thing is gonna save me unneeded headaches.
I'm close to having this thing down to were its not such a tedious exercise but more of another tool to put in my toolbox.
I'm a mechanic by nature and Mechanix are contastly trying to figure out how stuff worx It's a charactor flaw I think

Thank you sincerly for the advive I'll take it to heart
